Catnip Nation's June Report - What's Happening With the Cats at Google?

In March I brought you the sixth installment in a series of posts by Tina Traster, Producer and Director of the documentary film Catnip Nation. This month Tina tackles a New York Times article that is emotional for cat rescuers, advocates and lovers. Google's employee run group GCat Rescue, which does wonderful things for feral cats, has been getting pushback from an environmental group. The link to the story is here. Read Tina's response below and tell us your thoughts in the comments. This may strike up differing opinions amongst our readers, but if a colony of cats could be in danger we need to let the world know. 

5 Ways to Get Your Cat to Drink More Water (Raindrop Fountain Review)

A few months ago Lola had her annual wellness checkup, which included blood work and a urinalysis. The results of her blood work were perfect, but she had some crystals in her urine. The protein level was also a little high, and the Ph was on the acidic side. The vet advised me to encourage her to drink more water and come back for a recheck. 

Encourage my cat to drink water? I was stumped. I was worried that the results could lead to bigger issues, but I didn’t know how to get more water into her. After doing some research I discovered some helpful hints to get a cat to drink more water, which I’m sharing with you today.

Blogging is a lot of work! It requires a lot of time and dedication. A blogger can spend as much time (or more!) on their blog as they do in their full-time job. There are times where you may feel uninspired and it can be difficult to generate new ideas.

Today I've decided to share with you what inspires me to create quality content, even when it may get exhausting. 

Selfie Sunday - My Hiding Spot is Spoiled!

Hello, and Happy Sunday! I've been a sneaky little devil lately. I've been hiding in the morning, and Mommy hasn't been able to find me anywhere. *giggle* I was pretty good. Then one morning I wasn't being careful and Mommy saw me slip under the bed. Drats! She found me! I figured I was in a bit of trouble, so I decided to look cute and pose for a selfie since I probably wouldn't be allowed back under here again. 

Lola on the Road: Catsbury Park Cat Cafe and Tea House (Asbury Park, NJ)

Welcome to the first post in a new series on the blog: "Lola on the Road." Throughout the summer I’ll be visiting several cat cafes and sharing my experiences with our readers. Coffee and cats; two of my favorite things! The first in the series is the Catsbury Park Cat Cafe and Tea House in Asbury Park, NJ. 

I made a quick trip over to the Catsbury Park Cat Cafe and
Tea House while I was at the Catsbury Park Cat Convention in April. I couldn't think of a better way to spend a Saturday night, anyway. 

Selfie Sunday - Kissing Cousins

Hello, everyone. This is Lexy checking in, and I'm happy to be participating in the Sunday Selfie blog hop! It's been a while, and we've really missed hopping with our friends. 

Today I have a family selfie. Yesterday our cousin, Ariana, came to visit us. Lola didn't come out from under the bed, so I had all of her attention. I thought it would be a great idea to do a selfie with her. 

Cat Lovers Unite by the Sea at the Catsbury Park Cat Convention

Cat-themed conventions seem to be popping up all over, much to the delight of cat-loving people. Last year I spent two days at Cat Camp NYC, and this April I attended Catsbury Park Cat Convention (CPCC) in Asbury Park, NJ.
